Nevi offer here a roller-coaster ride of immeasurably enjoyable music. So strap yourself and have a good trip!

Palm muted guitar riff beckons bass; percussion and piano join in and a clean, sonorous horn in unison with the guitar play the theme and we're off - to Africa! Solos abound over the captivating 6/8 pulse before a return to the intro.

Idea is a contemplative ballad, based around a repeated note on piano encircled by a lovely chord sequence and features the mastery of Andrei's piano playing. The delicacy of his touch is simply exquisite. Tolga follows with an emotionally stated solo, his tone (throughout the album) is rounded and resounding and his measured, assured note choice is a delight to hear.

Requiem for KC has a mildly Latin feel and revolves around an ostinato riff. It provides a vehicle for Ozan with his ever-sturdy, ever-resonant bass, which introduces a series of short band solos.

Entering the Bar opens with a jazz-funk vibe and leads to a middle passage highlighting riveting trumpet, guitar/drum and piano solos. Aleksandr, percussion personified, takes the opportunity to showcase his superb technique.

Hollywood is a peaceful ballad featuring trumpet and piano solos. Soul-soothing music performed with grace and grandeur.

Orka has a distinctive, Metheny-esque theme (charmingly restated vocally towards the end of the piece) and is played in a rolling tempo. Attractive interplay and solos pervade this noteworthy track.

Let's Go is a perfect example of how the effortlessly the band switch between jazz and light funk. A cool bass/drum groove paves the way for tremendous soloing ending with a driving and dynamic statement from Aleksandr.

Bicycle is a harmonically rich ballad sparsely defined by bass and brushes. The trumpet and piano solos are impressively illustrative.

Hidden Emotion is an enchanting and appropriately titled piece and serves as a fine channel for Onur's thorough musicianship.
